King Pin, New Orleans

This rock star of a dive has routinely been described as one of the city's best, even finding a spot on CNBC's list of the country's top dives. A sprightly red and white facade greets you at the entrance of the King Pin. The red theme continues inside, this time with wooden hues as contrast. Pop art posters cover the walls and include notable tributes to Elvis. In true dive tradition, the place has a rocking jukebox, loaded with a popular playlist and there's a shuffleboard as well. Live bands perform for the mostly young crowd on days when the New Orleans Saints aren't playing. The bar's lively atmosphere and fun crowd have made it a city favorite and appearances in popular media have added to its appeal. Stop by for a lively night out.
